The European Commission confirmed on Saturday that the bird flu virus detected at one of Europe's largest turkey manufactures was the virulent H5N1 strain.

The strain of bird flu found in eastern England at the Bernard Matthews farm, one of Europe's largest turkey farms, was confirmed to be the deadly strain, which can be transmitted to humans, the EU's executive arm said in a statement."
